Family vacations have taken a new meaning in this day and age. Hiking trails and tent camping have taken a completely new meaning with today’s adventure vacations travel industry. Bike tours and kayaking are no longer a solo man’s journey in the wilderness. Today families are setting out internationally to places that where only once frequented by the casual backpacker. A region that has seen more than its share of backpackers until recently is the Mayan world. This is the region that Duende Tours seeks to preserve through an alternative style of adventure vacations meant to educate, entertain, and culturally enrich the foreign traveler.

The Mayan world is comprised of five countries: Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador. Within specific regions of these countries exist protected, some more than others, Mayan Jungle zones. Over the past decade, these zones have become one of the adventure travel industry’s main attractions. Beyond the traditional jungle trips that include hiking trails, tent camping, and the occasional canoe, new businesses have sprouted within the jungle community either from foreign or domestic origin, and are beginning to offer more “alternative” trips. Take for example the traditional biking tours in Colorado: the tours are done on trails meant for off road biking. But this is not so much the case in the Mayan Jungle, where the trails are, at best, incipient. This doesn’t stop tour companies from offering their product, and it certainly doesn’t stop families from buying and enjoying it; this is just one of the wonders of third world red tape (it doesn’t always exist).

tent camping If biking tours aren’t quite appropriate for the family, then the next best, or sometimes vise-versa, is horseback riding. There’s not much in the world that could ever compete with riding a horse or bicycle through the dense, lush, exotic jungles of the Mayan World, traveling on routes that the Maya used to take thousands of years ago to ancient Mayan pyramids and Mayan temples.  

These are the type of tours that Duende Mayan Jungle Tours offers. In a globalized world Duende seeks to preserve the culture and environment that escapes the world’s manufactured human problem. Adventure vacations, according to Duende Tours, should not be just about escaping from the world to which you belong, but also about learning, appreciating, enjoying, and experiencing a completely different way of living and traveling. The point is to take your newfound experiences and knowledge home and apply it you your way of living, one that will hopefully help preserve not only are vanishing jungles, but the earth’s environment as a whole. Taking family oriented adventure vacations that include bike tours, tent camping, crocodile watching, local community interaction, and Mayan culture learning is something that every member of the traditional or untraditional family can enjoy, learn, and grow from in ways that were never imaginable only 20 years ago.

What does the term adventure travel mean to you? It can mean many different things to different people and for those that are uninitiated into the world of adventure travel it often involves Indiana Jones types of images. Things like Man against nature, struggling to cross a scorching desert, or a stormy sea. Possible risking their life in some far flung region of the world that is torn apart by war and strife. Or it might bring up images of crawling deep into a pitch black cave or dangling from the site of a mountain on a rope.

Do all of these images equate to adventure travel? Well, not really, some people that are into adventure travel might seek out some of these more extreme types of activities but not everyone. Adventure travel is really whatever you want it to be. It might or might not involve physical risk this is not a requirement. It might or might not mean traveling to an exotic far flung place. It might or might not cost a small fortune it really depends on you. Any time you travel somewhere, anywhere if you have a new experience that you have never had before or some type of new experience that you don’t do everyday then you have had an adventure.

Of course there are as many different types of adventure travel as there are people in the world. So often you can find something that is exciting to you and based on your own interests. For example a history buff might not be the least interested in a vacation in Las Vegas or a visit to Disney World. But he or she might be thrilled to tour the Tower of London, visit the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, or stand at the Irish graveside of some long dead ancestor. The discovery of some previously unknown ancestors name in the archival records of a small town can be as exciting for the history lover as catching a trophy rainbow trout is to an ardent fisherman.

While most people would agree that adventure travel that involves activities like sky diving, mountain climbing, kayaking the rapids or caving is an exciting adventure indeed. But adventure travel can also include a leisurely trip on the Mississippi River in a paddle wheeler, a saunter across the English landscape in search of a certain species of bird, a tour of the wineries of southern France, or a shell-collecting outing on an out-of-the-way Caribbean beach.

Adventure travel does not have to be to a far away place. You do not have to go by plane, train or bus to experience some adventure travel. There are many opportunities well within driving distance of your house. They are not as well revealed as major sites or operations, so people have to look for them. They can include small local museums, houses of special interest (the birthplace of a famous person), small sanctuaries for wildlife and flora, restored buildings or even communities dating back to historic times, and so on. Even if one does not own a car, there are sometimes local bus tours to this site, or excursions organized by social groups.

Sure adventure travel might take you to that far flung place on a crazy intense adventure and test of wills but it can just as easily be a trip to somewhere close to your home and local. Adventure travel is wherever you can find it and on whatever scale you are ready for.
